If you're taking your groom's last name, the monogram consists of your first initial, his last initial, then his first initial, placed in a line from left to right. The middle letter is larger than those on the sides. Or, you could opt for a single initial—the first letter of his last name. If you've decided to keep your last name (or if both the bride and groom are hyphenating their last names), then the monogram would feature your first and last initials, followed by his first and last initials to create a contemporary four-letter monogram. Then, the middle two letters would be larger than the two on the sides. Last option: A simpler alternative to either last-name situation would be to avoid it entirely and use the bride's first initial, followed by an ampersand, followed by the groom's first initial.
